I'm half Swiss and half British as if you haven't guessed and I choose to live here in Switz coz I like it, guess what? In Switz. we have an official day whereupon the workforce bring their kids to the work for a day. It's not obligatory but encouraged by the Federal Govt. It's amazing and the children get day release from school. It's most popular at primary age and I applaud such programs so well done LJ. It's interesting how closely Switzerland and USA are linked. The Swiss version of the Decl. of Independence toured the USA a couple of years ago to great success. There are also many similarities between USA and Switz. much maligned recently is the credit woes. Anyway I agree with LJ - bring your kids to work once a year under the agreement of the Govt. and it is a good thing. Who could argue otherwise. Yes I know sewage workers and grave diggers might feel otherwise but you get the gist?
